    Casting Calls

    So they film a ton of movies in ATL and the daily emails I get from the local rag list the casting calls they have for extras, bit roles, and even some larger parts, etc. This one caught my eye today for Fast and the Furious 7 (They really made 7?!?! of these fucking things?) Apparently Capt. Ron is in this one.

    - F&F needs a 9-to-11-year-old version of Vin Diesel. Your kid (or you, if you're a child who is reading this) may get a haircut. Gotta be "ethically ambiguous." Email info + photos to Fast7ATL@gmail.com with the subject line "Young Dominic."
    I figure the collective here has a 9 to 11 year old mentality and is very ethnically ambiguous. Shoot em an email.


    Oh, and this is filming down the street today too:

    I still call it The Jake.

    Doesn't Jeff Daniels have his own show building treehouses now?

    What the hell does "ethically ambiguous" mean? Especially when talking about an 11-y-o actor?

    Someone who looks ethnic, but not so much so as to be identified with a certain minority group.

    Guess it was meant to say "ethnically" as opposed to "ethically"? aka a nice way of saying "... not_______, _______, or _______"?

    Brown, but not distinctively so. Minimal epicanthic folds, straight hair

    Will eat a squirrel that was killed with a sharpened stick, won't kill a dog with a maul.

    Ha! Didn't even notice they were looking for ethically ambiguous, this changes everything.

    Had a buddy in college who was always on the hunt for "women with negotiable virtues and morally casual attitudes".
    I still call it The Jake.

    Pretty sure most of us were like your buddy. Guess you were going to church on Sundays your Sophomore year?

    Nah, I was right there next to him. He just had a better way of putting some things.

    I figured. Seems like he put words to what most single post-puberty males are wishing every day.

    So, like most stoke pimps on TGR, you hand over cash to hire professionals then claim they are amateurs?

    It's in quotes, and Animal House rings a bell, but I'm not sure that's it.
    "One season per year, the gods open the skies, and releases a white, fluffy, pillow on top of the most forbidding mountain landscapes, allowing people to travel over them with ease and relative abandonment of concern for safety. It's incredible."

    I transfered to a college away from home my jr year and lived in the dorms first semester. Forget morals and virtues, I was out looking for daddy issues.
